Promote your business

Being different is tough in an overcrowded marketplace. But BT Tradespace allows you, as a business, to be different and get noticed. Not only can you create an online identity through your Tradespace but once it's live, you become part of the BT Tradespace community and will be featured in our Businesses section, while your products and services get featured in our Marketplace section. Content from your Tradespace may occasionally be featured on other areas of our website, and the more often you update your Tradespace, the more attention you get - both on our website and on external search engines like Google.

Your Tradespace lets you showcase your products and services, but more importantly, your story. You can promote your business and tell your story using the social media tools like a blog, podcasts and video - absolutely free.

We believe people buy from people. BT Tradespace lets you create your own or join other people's communities to connect with and build relationships with your customers or potential customers. Customer support doesn't get better than this.

You can also use the communities to swap ideas, share expertise with other like-minded people plus meet potential business partners - so make the most of them!

If you don't already have an online identity - then what can we say, except - you're missing out! Now's a perfect time to take your business online and what better way than to join BT Tradespace free and use tools like a blog, podcasts or videos to create an online identity for your business.

Too scared of the web? Don't worry, you don't need any technical expertise to set up a Tradespace - all you need on hand is some information about yourself and your business, a few pictures of the stuff you want to flog, and you're ready to roll.

Even if you already have an existing website, having a Tradespace will add to it. Apart from using social media like blogging, podcasts or videos to promote your business free of charge, it helps to increase your online exposure and ranking on search engines such as Google. Think about it, no agency costs, easy and timely updates - all at the click of a button! You can also drive traffic to your website using the communities - so think of your Tradespace as the red carpet to your business or business website.
